Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Physical Therapy care with Dr. Courtney DPT:

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Courtney DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Courtney DPT will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This is the starting point for creating a completely personalized prevention and recovery plan.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. Physical therapy, like with chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, can be just as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function, making it a powerful, non-invasive first step to potentially avoid more invasive procedures.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Courtney DPT can perform a functional movement screen to identify muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that could lead to injury. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues before they cause a problem, proactively preventing future injuries.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Courtney and our team of physical therapists utilize specific, repetitive exercises to promote neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself after a stroke. This leads to improved walking, balance, and strength, maximizing independence and reducing the risk of falls. We work closely with you to create a personalized plan for your recovery.

I'm having joint replacement surgery. When should I start PT?

Starting physical therapy both before and after joint replacement surgery is crucial. Prehab strengthens muscles, speeding recovery. Post-operative PT, beginning soon after surgery, is vital to restoring range of motion, building strength, and optimizing your new joint's function.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Courtney DPT can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

I have pain at my desk job. Can you provide ergonomic advice?

Yes, absolutely. Preventing workplace injuries is a key part of physical therapy. Dr. Courtney DPT can assess your workstation setup and provide expert ergonomic recommendations, as well as teach stretches and exercises to prevent repetitive strain injuries.
